Former WBO welterweight champion Antonio Margarito (35-5, 26 KOs) impressively crushed Golden Johnson (25-9-3, 18 KOs) in round one to claim the vacant WBO intercontinental welterweight title. In his first bout since losing his title to Paul Williams, Margarito wanted to start fast and he did, dropping the outgunned Johnson three times before referee Wayne Kelley stopped the bout at 2:28.
